I stopped by the spot this afternoon on my way home from work (after first trying the flats where the interstate crosses near Hogback Rd., without seeing anything of note except a first-of-the-year Bobolink), and the oriole was exactly in the spot advertised: in the small trees lining the river, across the road from the quonset hut. I wonder whether he'll stay around.
